I recently went on a trip to Seattle. One of my missions was to shoot the skyline at night and in HDR. Above is the result. It’s a 41.7 megapixel Panoramic photo of the Seattle skyline from the Space Needle to the Black building. Naturally I’ve re-sized the version above to make it accessible, but if you click on it you can see the large version. It must be seen big to be appreciated.
This piece is not finished yet, but will be officially released in the future. If you’re interested in getting one of the editions you can contact me. I plan to offer the feature piece as a large ultra limited edition. Probably 10-12 feet long.
For the photographers among you, this was made from 4 images taken late at night from my Canon 5D MK2. I used a Canon 70-200 2.8 at around 160mm on a tripod and shot 3 image 2EV brackets. Working on them individually I rendered the primary HDR’s with Photomatix Pro, then used PTGUI to stitch them together. I’ll post a more complete article once the final is done… Gavin

This is my masterpiece of the week. It’s from last Sunday’s drive and was taken overlooking the Columbia river just off Manilla Creek Road. (Here’s the coordinates on the map). You can click the picture for a bigger view.
I did this with two, three shot HDR images of the scene stitched together as a panorama. The view was amazing. We stopped here earlier in the day, so I knew it had potential. We moved on, but at sunset came back for the shoot.

We went for a photo drive around the area a few weeks ago. This is an old windmill outside of Ephrata. I used my SUPER wide fisheye lens for these. It distorts a bit, but I like the wide area of view I can capture. These were taken as HDR with my new 5D MK2 camera.
